Cold Case S01E13 – The Letter Promo Update

In last week’s update for ‘Glued’, we mentioned things were getting a bit personal between Lilly and Kite. This week it’s more professional, but really it’s about the personal.

We have just one updated promo image from ‘The Letter’, episode 13 in season 1 of Cold Case. You can see the picture above and the new, much larger sized version in the Gallery. It was 15 years ago today that this one first aired.

You think 2004 is along time ago? The case they re-opened was nearly 65 years old back then, and involved the murder of a young black woman in August of 1939. And that isn’t even the oldest crime they looked at. Assumptions by the police at the time about the victim probably made them even less inclined to investigate. You’d like to things have changed a lot since then.

To do posts like these I need a few helpful reminders about each episode. A very useful resource to jog the memory is the fan-created Cold Case Wiki on the Fandom website (the link is always in the list on the left of this site). There is a huge amount of information about the show in general, the episodes, the cast (including guests) and crew, and much more. It is constantly being updated. Go check it out. I’d like to think that my little site has helped the editors there at times too.

Cold Case S01E12 – Glued Promo Updates

Cold Case gets a little personal.

We return to our current series of posts bringing image updates to old episodes on the original air-date, albeit 15 years after the fact. January 18th, 2004 was when episode 12 of season 1 of Cold Case was first broadcast in America.

‘Glued’ is about an old case of John Stillman’s. He didn’t solve it when the murder happened in 1980. The impending birth of his grandchild has stirred some things up for John. On Lilly’s side, things are also stirring as she takes a very, very small step with Kite (insert one-eye/cat/tripod joke here). Perhaps ‘unglued’ would have been a better title.

Five new promo images from this episode are now in the KM UK Gallery.

Cold Case S01E09 – Sherry Darlin’ Promo Updates

By this stage in the history of the Cold Case squad, Lilly and co. have clearly gained a reputation for looking into old cases. A man speaks to Lilly about a murder he claims he committed 14 years previously.

A lot of cop shows like their recurring characters. Normally they are serial killers that keep cropping up through-out a season, giving the detectives involved another case to solve and a few more clues to their identity. Personally I find these drawn out story lines rather tedious. They are made even worse when, at the last moment, the killer gets away once again, free to return at some random time in future.

In the case of Sherry Darlin’, the killer didn’t get away, and the man that held himself responsible (and partly was) was jailed. Case closed? Yes, but that man actually came back to Lilly, whilst still in jail, having learned to trust her, to help solve another case in a future episode. It is nice when shows bring back characters like that.

This photo update, the latest in our series going back through the series, is just two new promo images (see above) from this episode. Be a darlin’ and check them out in the KM UK Gallery.

Cold Case S01E06 – Love Conquers Al Promo Updates

See that guy in the middle in the photo below? That’s Danny Pino. I think you already knew that though. It is not much of a stretch to assume you did.

It was this episode, number six in the first season of Cold Case, that we were introduced to Detective Scotty Valens. He replaced the Chris Lassing character, as played by Justin Chambers (Grey’s Anatomy), who was Lilly’s cop partner in three of the first four episodes.

Speaking of partners we also got an initial brief glimpse into Lilly’s life outside work, though this peach doesn’t stray far from the tree, as we meet her beau Assistant District Attorney Kite (Josh Hopkins, Quantico).

Anyway, ‘Love Conquers Al’ involves the case of a high school athlete killed twenty two years earlier in 1981. Summer Glau (a regular in Joss Whedon’s work such as Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse) was that runner in the flashbacks. Her then boyfriend, the titular Al, was jailed for the crime. The previous week’s episode was called ‘The Runner’, someone on the production must have on a get fit kick.

The other man in these new photos is the actor Vincent Ventresca (Fun Bobby in two episodes of Friends, and lots of other things, including Dollhouse). His Bennett Cahill wasn’t so fun in this. Now a successful doctor, Bennett’s past catches up with him.

For this latest update in our series we have 3 new promo images from this episode. Run them down (see what I did there?) in the KM UK Gallery.

Cold Case S01E05 – The Runner Promo Updates

There’s a phrase/idiom in English: “having your collar felt”. It means to be arrested and probably relates to the idea of a police officer grabbing a ne’er-do-well by the collar to hold them still whilst questioning them.

Although not strict ‘by the collar’ Lilly is very much acting out the phrase in the photo above. She’s got her man.

Sorry for the spoilers but it has been 15 years since ‘The Runner’, episode 5 of Cold Case‘s first season, so you’ve had more than enough time to find out who did it. It’s that guy!

Continuing our CC photo updates on the same date as the original airing plus 15 years, we have 3 new large promo images from ‘The Runner’. They are now in the KM UK Gallery.
